GRAPHIC NOVEL: Gabby and Gator by James Burks

An outcast girl and an alligator that survived flushing find friendship together.

This was absolutely delightful! I liked it so much, I bought two for our school library because I think my students will enjoy it, too. The story starts by establishing each of the characters separately and establishing the "mystery" of a monster in the sewer. Then, when the two meet, they develop this wonderful, quirky relationship that is just right for both of them. Gabby and Gator make a great team. As a fun little bonus, there are line drawings at the bottom of the right-hand pages, and if you flip them quickly you can see Gabby and Gator dance. Great fun!

About Me

I am a mom, a writer, a consultant, a bibliophile, an organizer, an optimist, an ENFJ, a Packer fan, a teacher.
I have a passion for books - especially books for children. When I read a book I love, I just have to tell other people about it so they can enjoy it, too.
I believe I am called and equipped to inspire others to self-discovery, encourage in others self-expression, foster in others a love of stories and story-telling.

I am an Amazon Associate. Occasionally I post links to books from Amazon. If you link to Amazon from one of my blogs and buy something, I receive a small percentage of the purchase price.

Review Policy

I am honored when an author or a publisher offers me a book for review. My approach to these offers is to accept only the materials that sound like something I will like and to review the book as quickly as possible. I will accept electronic or physical books for review.

Not every book works for every reader. Because of this, I will not post a negative review. This could discourage a reader who would actually like the book I didn't care for. Unless a publisher requires a review, I will not post a review on a book I did not like.

At certain times of the year I may take a break from accepting review copies from authors or publishers unless I have a previous relationship with them. This allows for busy seasons at work and for the holidays, and also helps when I have a backlog of review books.
